I've been vinegar dosing for a WHILE now - to the advice of mcgyvr - and my nitrates are in the SINGLE DIGITS  and I have a scarlett cleaner skunk and a red fire shrimp - BOTH are doing great, along with my cocoa worms, urchins, hermits, and other inverts. Fish have been swimming along happily, as always.
Just KEEP AN EYE on YOUR pH and ALKALINITY when dosing! You are aware that you have to monitor these two parameters closely, right?
Add some sodium carbonate / soda ash solutions (in modest amounts, of course) if you see your pH and Alkalinity are low. |
Yeah I have been testing water every 2 days. Nitrates are down but not single digit yet.
